Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
TRIUMF operates a suite of [H-] cyclotrons (13, 2 x 30, 42 and 500 MeV) which, in addition to supplying our basic science program, are used to produce a variety of medical isotopes. Within the next few years TRIUMF will also begin isotope production in our new Advanced Rare IsotopE Laboratory (ARIEL) – a 50 MeV, 10 mA continuous-wave electron linac. The breadth and power of our infrastructure...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
The Canadian Light Source (CLS) has been working on a project to develop a facility that uses a 35 MeV high power (40 kW) electron linac to produce medical isotopes. This project was funded by Natural Resources Canada’s Non-reactor-based Isotope Supply Program which was initiated following the lengthy shutdowns of the NRU reactor at Chalk River that caused significant shortages of...

Access to new and rare radioactive isotopes is key to their application in nuclear science. Radioactive ion beam (RIB) facilities around the world, such as TRIUMF (Canada's National Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Physics, 4004 Westbrook Mall, Vancouver, BC, V6T 2A3), work to develop target materials that generate ion beams used in nuclear medicine, astrophysics and fundamental physics...

The silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) has emerged as a rival device to traditional photodetectors such as the photomultiplier tube (PMT). Over the past decade, SiPMs - also known as Multi-pixel photon counters (MPPCs) and Single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) - have found applications in fields ranging from, for example, high-energy physics and atmospheric lidar, to homeland security,...
